No argument there. But then again I have never viewed conformity with the masses as a virtue.But most of us aren't anything like you.
Two things about this strike me. First off if it was a group of white kids saying knock that nigger out" it would be wall to wall coverage on network news. Second thing is even in this local report the word "hate crime" never comes up. Go figure.
CLEVELAND, Ohio (CBS Cleveland) - Cleveland authorities have made several arrests following the mob beating of a disabled Army veteran by a group of teenagers.
Last Friday, the victim, Matthew Robinson, was surrounded by between six and eight teenagers while riding the RTA Healthline. Robinson told WOIO that he was attacked by the teens, then robbed of his possessions.
During the attack, the teens made several derogatory remarks about Robinson.
“What they were saying was, ‘Knock that boy out!’ ‘White boy.’ ‘Cracker,’” he was quoted as saying about the incident. “They were saying, ‘Knock that white boy out.’”

That is absolute crap.
It's reported all the time.
It's the subject of thousands of hours of hollywood movies and TV shows.
You are by and large the most dishonest person in this sites history, it's one thing to be stupid, it's another to be a liar.
Does anyone Remember what happened to emmett till?
Guess What? Neither have I.
That's one of the reasons why I'm a strong supporter of the 1st Amendment.
I may not agree with what someone says, but I'll always defend their right to say it.

Yes, and your point is what? That two wrongs make a right?

I hope you protected that Florida preacher as well, or the guy who made the anti Muslim movie who caused the deaths in Benghazi.
I was thinking that very thing as I read the OP - how is it being ignored if it's being reported??
I'm gonna try that again
Right!This a truly astounding and bizarre way to view the world.
The left gives blacks a pass for this sort of behavior for two reasons 1) They are afraid of black people and don't want to make them angry. 2) They have built up victimhood fence around blacks to buy their political loyalty that they don't want to shatter it. It would, of course, be in the overall best interest of blacks for to have this sort of behavior stigmatized, but the left really isn't interested in improving the lot of blacks in this country.
I think the hate crime designation in any direction is completely stupid. The crime is the crime is the crime. One's intent should be handled in the sentencing phase and not be a specific charge.
That's BS. Such crimes are committed by whites against blacks almost every day and we rarely see considerable news coverage.
Be real.
Intent has always been considered a factor in the charging phase of a prosecution. For example, it's the basic difference between murder and manslaughter
Furthermore, "hate crimes" aren't separate charges. They are, exactly as you suggest, something increases the sentence and does not change the underlying charging statute
Yeah... I noticed your post .. after my last post "comparatively true"
While your post doesn't seem as delineated as I recall reading.. I will investigate later and if there is a difference I'll post and cite.... might be interesting.. or maybe I'm not correct.
As an aside.. I've seen and maybe you also seemingly conflicting gov. reports... I'll check later

Only in the delusional world of the right wing does a story of black against white crime being reported by the media demonstrate that the media ignores black against white crime
I do want to apologize for one thing on this thread though. The fact that a disabled vet was attacked by teenage thugs no matter what the races involved are just blows me away and that should have been my first comment on this.. WTF is this country coming to.

1. Black on white crimes are not covered in the media, but white on black crimes are headlines every single time.
2. Therefore, white on black crimes have only occurred when we see national headlines.
3. Therefore, white on black crimes are rare, as such things only appear in national news on rare occasions.
That IS the gist of your argument. That it is presented in the framework of black on white crime is no surprise, given this underlying claim.
Denying this is intellectually dishonest or inept.
